The Dorr Rebellion

In collaboration with local scholars, Digital Publishing Services (DPS) created a short documentary film about the Dorr Rebellion, an attempt by Thomas Wilson Dorr to bring voting rights to all men of Rhode Island in 1842. DPS created a web site to host the documentary and provide access to images of a variety of primary sources related to the Rebellion.

The Cowl

Providence College's student newspaper, The Cowl, has been in publication since 1935, with the exception of two years in the 1940's during World War II. Digitization of The Cowl will continue until all issues have been processed and made available through Digital Commons.

Army Specialized Training Program (ASTP)

The national Army Specialized Training Program served as a way to educate young, academically talented, soldiers (ages 18-21) for leadership roles within the Army during World War II. Providence College's Army Specialized Training Program began in July 1943 and lasted through April 1944. PC's ASTP collection includes video, photographs, correspondence, newspaper coverage, archival materials, and more​.

John Greenleaf Whittier Collection

The Whittier collection includes personal correspondence, newspapers, souvenir programs, cabinet cards, sheet music, autographs, and more.
